08/19/2004 Archived Entry: "packing up"

Tomorrow morning we leave to go camping! Yay! This trip could not be at a worse time though. Chris started school this week and has 5 hours of classes tonight plus it's inventory time at his work and considering he's in loss prevention, it's mucho work for him so he's working later than usual. So today, it's all on me. I have to take care of all the food and packing and making sure we don't forget anything. But, despite it being horrible timing, I cannot wait to get there tomorrow.
So right now I'm doing laundry and then I'll pack. I also need to gather some toys for Tabitha since it's a long drive. I need to make sure we don't forget something important, like the lighter for the grill :) I need to do some prep work for our food, but I don't think I'll pack it all until right before we leave. I want the freezer boxes to stay frozen as long as possible so they keep the temp in the cooler down as long as possible. I also need to make a list for the house sitter. Nothing major, just what to do with the pets and a "no eating on my couch" reminder.
My in-laws are picking us up at 3:00am. I'll go to bed around nine perhaps and then get up at 2:00 to take care of last minute things like food and toiletries. Chris most likely won't sleep because that's just the way he is. I know I'm going to forget something, but hopefully nothing too important!
